Smart sensor data from tracking the interactions between two wooden dowels travelling along a flume in laboratory experiments

This dataset contains measurements from smart sensors and cameras monitoring the movement and interaction between two wooden dowels moving downstream in a flume. The following values in the x, y and z direction are provided: position, velocity, linear acceleration, angular velocity and filtered angular velocity. Three uniform flow conditions were tested, and the experiments were repeated about 30 times.

Statement
Each wooden dowel was hollow, and a sensor equipped with an accelerometer, a gyroscope, and a magnetometer was installed within the longitudinal borehole of each one. One dowel was painted red and the other yellow. The experiments were recorded from above by two cameras with a 4K resolution and a frame rate of 30 fps. The accelerometer and gyroscope had an acquisition frequency set at 14.9 Hz, whereas the magnetometer recorded at 5 Hz. The data were processed and saved in two separate CSV files, one for each dowel and each experiment. First, the cameras were calibrated and the images were rectified. Then, each sensor was calibrated and the orientation angles were computed. The gravity effects were compensated for to compute the linear acceleration. Lastly, a linear Kalman filter was used to computer more reliable linear acceleration, velocity and position values. More details are available in the ReadMe.docx.
